For the pipes are you talking about the ones that curve up from under the vehicle?? If so just go get what they call fabricator pipe. It is a section of pipe that has several mandrel bends and several different angles. I paid 43 bucks for mine and my 4 in section was only 54. Each is about 8 feet of pipe. Almost every auto parts store stocks them and comparitively, the 90 degree bend I was looking for was about the same price. Just the 3" connector piece is 23. Weird but I am glad the guy mentioned it at my parts store.

I am planning on doing 3" up both sides of the flat bed, with the little flippers that keep water out.

Well if you installed a pair of vicegrips just right on the return line on a 180,220 or 262 cummins you could adjust the flame coming out of the pipe from 6 inches to about 1 1/2 feet and light up every weed on the side of the road even at 60 mph, lol
